Choice?
Although Arnold
Schwarzenegger has to do some
noting in Itmior. his pithy
remarks are still his strong point.
"My body, my choice." elicits
sympathy from men who vicar
iously identify w ith his ( harm
ter though perhaps lac king his
physique
Similarly we do not wont our
honu»s invaded A mart's home is
his castle, removed from control
by an outside agency. Suppose
I rent my house to someone That
is my free choice. Then I dec ide
to stop renting Also my choice
But we accept a law requiring the
landlord to give SO days notice
— except in extreme cases where
the tenant is trashing the house1
What about the unborn? They
have a term too, of nine months,
before they can be viable outside
their little homes. l>id the woman
not already exercise her choice
by getting married or agreeing to
sex?
The homeless and the womb
I#»* art* being dehumanized
when called transients or Mus
es. It is not the same for a self
ish mother-to-be to disregard the
life of her unborn as it t* to con
vinca the morally sensitive to fol
low suit, and in a nation that
bears amis to protect its»>lf against
tyrannical government, we find
that the unborn have a few chain
pions. prompting those women
and their helpers to turn to the
government for protection, the
same government they do not
want protecting their unbom.

commend the Oregon football
team for its deportment both on

Duck fens extremely proud
Not so commendable were
those fens at the recent UCLA
basketball game who taunted the
Bruins with the chants of “O-vwr
